Egyptian Dance History, Culture & Anthropology - Episode #44
Welcome to episode #44 of "The Oriental Café" podcast with Dr. Tamer Yehia Aziz, hosted by Joana Saahirah.
In this episode, I receive Dr. Tamer Yehia Aziz, a respected Egyptian dancer, teacher, and scholar, a passionate advocate for his country, art, and culture.
We talk about a wide range of themes, including the differences between Oriental Dance and Belly Dance, Anthropology, Egyptian Folklore and the legacy of Mahmoud Reda, the History of "Raqs Sharqi", the role of emotion in dance, and much more.
Oh, we also sing a bit of Om Kolthoum and, not surprisingly, our guest makes your host cry.
A fully packed episode with a teacher who´ll take you deep into the dance we all love, the ancient art of "Raqs Sharqi".
